Mapeamento de risco: análise situacional da Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

This study proposes to discuss some causes and results of the risks of work accidents, as well as to identify the perception of the Managers of the Central Library of the Campus I of the Federal University of Paraíba regarding these risks in their place of work, placed graphically through the mapping of risks Suggested by current legislation. The research developed can be characterized by its typology as analytical, and for that, data were collected from bibliographies referring to norms and laws of work safety, having as sources the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Security and Assistance Social, and scholars of the subject. Interviews were also conducted through questionnaires to the managers of the Library evaluated. It is identified from the obtained results that, on the part of the managers still lack more clarifications in relation to the subject, and mainly the question of the culture of the prevention. There are several causes of accidents: lack of knowledge and / or ineffective risk assessment, low prevention investment, lack of training and lack of or lack of use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and structural failures of building. It is evident that the security process in the library evaluated must start from the planning to the operationalization of its activities, as well as the introduction of Programs and Commissions, directed to security, according to the current Legislation. With this, awareness of safety practices by all components of the organization should be advocated.
